Hey Bill. Most of us in this forum really enjoy it because no one takes pot shots. It's all fishing. E-man said he hadn't used this particular model but relayed his experience with other Daiwa equipment. You like Daiwa equipment. Agree to disagree on this subject ;)

Anyway, it seems that too often that these misunderstandings take place in cyber space because you can't hear vocal tone or see facial expression. . .

Anyway welcome, checked out your website and liked it - great photos. Good fishing.
